Chih Hu Che Yeh is the 1982 debut album of Taiwanese singer Lo Ta-yu. The title of the album consists of a meaningless phrase made solely of four grammatical Chinese particles from Classical Chinese. The phrase functions as an adjective; if someone's Chinese is zhīhū zhěyě, it means it is stale and archaic. The album broadened the horizons of Chinese music and set a new model for Chinese songwriting. The album had four hit singles: the title song "Zhi hu zhe ye", "Lukang, the Little Town", "Love Song 1980", and "Childhood", previously sung by Sylvia Chang in her 1981 album Childhood. The singles from the album remain among Lo Ta-yu's best known songs in mainland China. Internationally, the album was released in 1982 as the Selected Works of Lo Ta-yu by Fontana Records with two additional tracks, "Foolishly Waiting" and "Deaf-Blind".
